It was about projects and dsa in 2 rounds. Finally, a hr asking about why, where and other types of questions. The interview was virtual and asked to do questions on screen
The technical interview focused entirely on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) problem-solving. I approached each question using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method to explain my thought process clearly, justify my solution, describe my implementation, and communicate the outcome in a structured and logical manner.
